"Miss Green, out of my class at this instant!", the woman screeched as I rolled my eyes at her, picking my bag and walking out. At most instances, a student would probably feel disappointed to get sent out of class during a lecture but I was quite the opposite. Infact, I felt relieved to escape that suffocating room. Walking around the silent corridors felt like a much better option than staying in a stuffy classroom, listening to some old wrinkled lady giving a speech on molecular formulas.

I was quite the rebellious kid in school. I was known to walk out of class, cause fights, create nuisance. My mother was a frequent visitor to the principal's office and detention was my second home. I had temper issues and was always restless.
I was the ideal bad girl of my prestigious high school.

Feeling the need to have a change of scenery, I made my way towards the higher classes where the extracurricular rooms where located too. Peeping into several classrooms, waving at a few students, I was close to making my way back before a voice echoed through the hallway making me freeze. I took slow steps to the source, trying to savour every bit of music reaching my ears.
Opening the door to the music room, I laid my eyes upon the owner of the heavenly vocals, softly strumming the guitar. My ears felt blessed and my mind foggy as I proceeded further into the room. For the first time in years, I felt calm.

Sensing my presence, the boy abruptly stopped. "Yes?", he questioned with one eyebrow raised, surprised to see me in the room. "You sound like an angel", I blurted out, still mesmerised. "Oh- thank you", he giggled blushing. Snapping out of my trance, I took a few seconds to analyse his features. He had slightly puffy cheeks, freckles below his eyes, bright almond eyes that disappeared when he smiled and soft plump lips that enhanced his smile. He was dressed in a grey hoodie with black joggers so and silver rings dangling on his ears. He was the most perfect little boy I had ever met.

"I'm Mellisa", I grinned putting my hand forward. "Felix", he smiled.
